IS THAT A BANANA IN YOUR POCKET, OR.....

Husband and I have always liked to play with each other.  We can take a topic beyond normal discussion.  We've been known to plant things in each others spaces.  Mail weird things to each other.  Buy questionable things for each other.  Etc. Etc. Etc.  We'd do this just because it was something that came up in a conversation.  Or something we wanted to tease each other about.  We have wicked senses of humor, and especially with each other.

One night last week, he brought me a small package that had arrived in the mail.  He said honey I ordered something for you.  He wanted to watch while I opened it, so I was a little suspect.  He was smiling.

Here is what was in the package......

So I said well thanks big guy but are you going to show me what I'm supposed to do with this?
He said I sure will honey.  He still had a big grin on his face.

So I inspected it a bit further and realized that, on one side, it said "Banana Bunker".  Still, STILL, I was goin' way off on that.....  Husband was losing it.  He couldn't breathe he was laughing so hard.  He knew what was going through MY head.

Here is what it was.






It's seriously a protective device for a banana.  Something to keep your banana from getting squished in your backpack or your lunchbox or your purse.


Yes, it comes apart so you can INSERT THE BANANA.   So you can see the Banana Bunker tattoo on this side/piece/tip.  WHATEVER!!  ( I do NOT believe that some men could EVER get through this process successfully.)  
                                                                                                                 

Here you can see what a contribution to the busy life style it can be (from their website).  You can shove that banana anywhere you want it, and it will still be hard and firm when you want to eat it.  :-)

And it comes in colors.  Five colors.  Why?

Daughter saw it and said hey that's great. I could use one of those in my backpack.  I just looked at her like she was from alien parents.  How had we NOT passed on our extraordinary senses of humor to her?  Of course, I guess she didn't want to think about what her mom was thinking it might have been!  Or where we thought this particular humor came from.

I hope the Banana Bunker people make millions off of this because it provided enormous humor in our life right now.

All I can say is that if your writer's block hadn't already been overcome, I'm pretty sure the banana bunker would have done it for you!

Hey! I thought it was funny! I just, seriously, do not like laughing about things like that with you. Is that too hard to understand? :)
